I can see how subscribed members have priority logging in, but once your sub has run out you lose the priority. I have a 2nd Det. which is no longer subscribed and this just adds to the challenge for faithful players since unsub cannot travel or start agencies wait that seems a little unfair. anyone??

AND what about those who were subscribed and just had sometime and stopped by like a DaRu or Croesy???

Subscription is not expensive. It is entirely an indidviduals choice to be or not to be, I can't see where there is a question! LOL

ichiban, I'm not sure I understand your post. Do you think that once people subscribe, they should continue to enjoy subscriber benefits even after thier subscription ends?

Jul-7-2006 15:25

No I just like seeing tons of people logged on to SLEUTH!!!!

Yeah we do too, but for now we are running at capacity. This is a great problem to have!

We instated the new limited access for non-subs rule so that subscribers can actually play the game they pay for.

YAY!

I say "let the non scribers have a little more room! all we do is do a case a day and maybe a favour, and then, we have to wait a whole day to play again!"

There wouldn't be any sleuth for people to play for free, if it wasn't for the paid members. And people who pay, should be able to play, because that's what they paid for. They don't pay to have a lousy playing experience, because the game needs to support 90 unsubscribed people playing at a given time. There has been an influx of new members hence more room was required for the subbed members to be able to play. There have been various threads about it and comments from paid members. All and all it is yet another incentive to subscribe. Though I do understand that not everybody can afford that, the non subs aren't cut off completely. It still only affects non subscribers if there are a lot of people online.

If unsubscribers want more room......subscribe ;) I agree totally with Jstkdn!

I agree too...in principle...given that servers are maxxed out these days it makes complete sense to give priority to folks who coughed up the few measly bucks, like, d'uh! And I LOVE how much speedier the game has been recently. Go Sleuth admin...it's your birthday...party like it's your birthday.

That said...I'm a bit of a lazy little pirate, and yeah, I was unsubbed for a couple of weeks while this change was introduced. It really sucked not being able to get on. My concern is that the rule, while certainly well-intentioned, might make new people go "OK screw this, without ever learning of the sweet sweet joy-nectar of subscriberhood". I know there's like a week's grace period or something, but really, I flirted with subscribing for MONTHS before I decided to pony up...so this is me suggesting that a bit of a longer grace period might help to build the addiction that leads to subscription.
